Endozoochory by native and exotic herbivores in dry areas: consequences for germination and survival of Prosopis seeds [PDF]
, 2008 Mammalian herbivores can play a role in the endozoochorous dispersal of Prosopis seeds in the arid zones of Argentina, and the introduction of exotic mammals can change relevant parameters of the plant's reproductive ecology.

Endozoochory decreases environmental filtering imposed to seedlings
Journal of Vegetation Science, 2012 AbstractQuestionsRecruitment microsites are imposed on plants, first by seed dispersal and then by the environment. Different seed dispersal vectors could decrease or increase the environmental filtering imposed on seedlings, depending on their specificity to deliver seeds to suitable microsites for germination and establishment.

Effects of Aeschynomene histrix Poir. seed treatment on germination
Biotechnologie, Agronomie, Société et Environnement, 2021 Description of the subject. Poor germination associated with physical dormancy was experienced in the legume Aeschynomene histrix Poir. seeds and can reduce the establishment and growth of this species. Objectives. To evaluate the effects of different

Hypercarnivorous apex predator could provide ecosystem services by dispersing seeds [PDF]
, 2016 Large ?hypercarnivorous? felids are recognized for their role as apex predators and hence as key elements in food webs and ecosystem functioning through competition and depredation.

Potential dispersal of aquatic snails by waterbird endozoochory in neotropical wetlands
Biota Neotropica, 2022 Abstract Waterbird-mediated zoochory is one of the main ecological mechanisms by which non-flying freshwater invertebrates can disperse between isolated wetlands. Passive dispersal through gut passage inside waterbirds (endozoochory) may explain how many organisms spread in the landscape.

SeedsInternal transport (endozoochory) and external transport (epizoochory) by migratory waterbirds are key mechanisms of long-distance dispersal for seeds and other diaspores of plants lacking a fleshy fruit.

Is fern endozoochory widespread among fern-eating herbivores?
Plant Ecology, 2015 Endozoochory is an important dispersal mechanism for seed plants and has recently been demonstrated to occur also in spore plants, such as ferns, which are commonly consumed by herbivores. However, it is not known whether fern species from particular habitats are differentially preferred by herbivores and whether their spores differ in their ability to

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 How flightless animals disperse to remote oceanic islands is a key unresolved question in biogeography. The flightless Pachyrhynchus weevils represent repetitive colonization history in West Pacific islands, which attracted our interests about how some ...

Seed dispersal by macaws shapes the landscape of an Amazonian ecosystem [PDF]
, 2017 Seed dispersal is one of the most studied plant–animal mutualisms. It has been proposed that the dispersal of many large-seeded plants from Neotropical forests was primarily conducted by extinct megafauna, and currently by livestock.
